What sets
us apart

Life has forced me to master growth.

From excelling academically on merit scholarships to becoming the youngest Chief of Staff in the history of the California Legislature, growth has defined every stage of the journey. Founding MGA—and milestones like purchasing a first home at 24 or transforming my health through clean eating and exercise, resulting in 85 pounds of weight loss—reflect a ferocious commitment to turning vision into reality. That same commitment drives MGA today, helping partners and clients unlock opportunity, scale their impact, and achieve measurable outcomes with clarity and confidence.

My mission is to help you master your growth. We’re all scaling mountaintops, and if we do it right, we’ll build wealth along the way.

I’m excited to be your co-pilot on that journey—making growth attainable for you and your company’s mission.

Let’s build.
